September 2025 PawPrint

Cybercriminals don’t take a vacation—and this September 2025 issue of Univision PawPrint explains why your risk actually rises during summer travel and back-to-school season. You’ll learn how attackers weaponize convincing, AI-written phishing emails, fake travel websites, and “too-real-to-spot” links—and what simple habits can stop one wrong click from turning into a full business breach.

The newsletter also tackles a fast-growing problem: employees unintentionally exposing confidential data through public AI tools. It breaks down how copy/pasting client info, financials, or regulated data into tools like ChatGPT can create serious privacy and compliance exposure—and introduces the emerging threat of prompt injection, where hidden instructions inside PDFs, emails, or transcripts can manipulate AI tools into doing something unsafe.

You’ll get clear, practical steps you can implement now—like tightening URL habits, visiting sites directly, enabling MFA, using VPNs on public Wi‑Fi, keeping personal accounts off company devices, and asking your MSP about endpoint detection and response (EDR). There’s also a leadership segment inspired by Billy Beane’s Moneyball approach to building high-performing teams with data-driven decision-making, plus a quick “shiny new gadget” spotlight and a client story showing why “newer” isn’t always “smarter” in IT decisions.
